3/11/2004 Daniel W. Munley
was honored by the French government in March,
2004 for his volunteer legal work on behalf of the family of a man from France
who was killed in the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.
Mr. Munley represented the family of Jerome Robert Lohez, who worked on the
26th Floor of one of the World Trade Center towers.
His widow, Dening Lohez, was awarded $3.9 million from the Victim
Compensation Fund.
"Following the tragic event, many Americans were looking for ways to
help," Munley said in a statement. "I felt this program was a way for
me to take my abilities and apply them."
Dan Munley is a volunteer in the American Trial Lawyers Association's Trial
Lawyers Care Program, which was established for attorneys to provide free
representation to victims of the 2001 terror attacks.
Mr. Munley was honored Wednesday during a ceremony at the French Consulate in
New York City. A commemorative plaque honoring five French victims of the
attacks was unveiled during the ceremony.
Lohez was a senior applications architect at NexxtHealth, a subsidiary of
Empire Blue Cross and Blue Shield.
He had just returned from visiting his family in France when he was killed in
the attacks, according to Pennsylvania-based Benchmark Advertising, which
provides publicity for Munley, Munley & Cartwright.
Munley, Munley & Cartwright, also is providing free representation to
five other families in connection with the World Trade Center attacks.
With part of the compensation proceeds, Dening Lohez has established a
scholarship fund in her husband's name for French students studying at the
Stevens Institute of Technology in New Jersey.
She and her late husband met at the school while obtaining their degrees.
